But stuff like “MTV makes me wanna smoke crack” are kind of an insight, too. Yeah if you don't like Golden Age I'm not sure you even like music to be honest. It's flawless. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I’ve unfortunately just been reminded of this bugbear of mine... People who play their music loudly in communal changing rooms... After a early morning run (which I really didn’t enjoy and therefore not the cheeriest) the last thing I needed to be inflicted with was the best of Heart FM does ‘Rock’ with the tunes of Rag N’Boner, the ginger busker and worst of all coldeffingplay...

Promising start. EDIT 2: Not all the way through yet, but I've heard enough to decide it's... OK. Edited March 24, 2021 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a quick google to firstly see what day it is and then if there's a Villa game I can see we just lost at home to Spurs and we now have an International break. Gives Kodjia a week to get fit I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Big fan of Morning Phase from Beck - really calming and mellow. First song cleanses my soul - completely forgot about it until this thread, now I'm super chilled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah Ok, Newspapers and Radio Shows use to do these promotions where they'd have someone walk around a town for the day, they'd give out clues etc and if you approached said character and said something along the lines of "You are Mr Bumblebum off the radio, I claim my £5", you'd get given a fiver. Newspapers used to tell you in the summer months for example that they'd be in Eastbourne that day and give you clues. It's just kinda folklore now There may be another explanation but thats where I take it from. EDIT: Something in the back of my mind tells me Private Eye may have done a spoof based on this with Lord Lucan which may have added to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kolley Kibber in Brighton Rock essentially as described by Bicks. Spot them and claim money. Based on this. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobby_Lud Quote Lobby Lud is a fictional character created in August 1927 by the Westminster Gazette, a British newspaper, now defunct. The character was used in readers' prize competitions during the summer period. Anonymous employees visited seaside resorts and afterwards wrote down a detailed description of the town they visited, without giving away its name. They also described a person they happened to see that day and declared him to be the "Lobby Lud" of that issue. Readers were given a pass phrase and had to try and guess both the location and the person described by the reporters. Anyone carrying the newspaper could challenge Lobby Lud with the phrase and receive five pounds(about £300 in 2021[1]). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
